McNeese presents "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

The McNeese State University Theatre Bayou Players will present "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at 7:30 p.m. April 17-20, with a 2 p.m. matinee April 21 in the Shearman Fine Art Performing Arts Theatre.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream"- by William Shakespeare - contains some wonderfully lyrical expressions of lighter Shakespearean themes, most notably those of love, dreams and the stuff of both - the creative imagination itself.

This play is one of his strangest and most delightful creations. Unlike the plots of many of Shakespeare's plays, however, the story in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" seems not to have been drawn from any particular source but rather to be the original product of the playwright's imagination. Shakespeare takes us back and forth through the human world and the fairie world with wonderfully endearing characters - with all of the quirkiness of humanity - and shows the audience the power of Love's magic.
